I used to listen to the experts and eat lots of carbs. I snacked on popcorn and pretzels because they were low fat and therefore healthy.
I used to listen to the experts and wouldn't think of working out with weights because it would cause me to bulk up with gigantic muscles.
I used to listen to the experts and avoid the sun as though I were a bat, because of course it would give me cancer.
I have since learned that people who work out of doors and get the most sun get the least skin cancer. The further north you live, and therefore the less sunshine you get, the more likely you are to get breast cancer. Sunshine is good for you. It's not just the Eades saying this, I've read it in a number of places. The fact that they included this information in their books has greatly increased my respect for their opinions.
Now, I eat low carb, workout with weights, and every day I try to get out and walk in the sunshine for 15 or twenty minutes.
